Destroyed their nuclear capabilities and are bleeding them dry economically so that the people can take back their theocratic government and elect the leaders they actually want. Eventually the IRGC will fold and a coup will occur.
re: I don't see how the restaurant industry can survive in its current format.

Is it just me or does it seem like restaurants are closing earlier post covid? I’ve noticed so many restaurants in the New Orleans area that close at 8:00.

The defense attorney ranted about "One juror who REFUSES to follow your instructions about reasonable doubt." No indication as to which way the jury is leaning. I hope it is guilty, as opposed to the insanity plea.
This makes me think it’s 11-1 guilty. If it truly is that the one holdout is not following the court’s instruction regarding reasonable doubt, it makes me think that they are holding the State to a higher burden of beyond all doubt.

Thank you everyone for the responses. My parents ended up wanting the speed queens, so we are giving them to them.

The State GOP endorsements boondoggle doesn’t give much confidence in the state party leadership. Genuinely curious…. does anyone think that state party endorsement means anything to the typical voter?

If the house has a garage that might be an option to run water to it for your washing machine and just use the "laundry room" for the dryer. Does it have 240V outlet for a dryer?
Unfortunately it doesn’t have a garage and the lot isn’t large enough to build one.

how can a standard size washer/dryer not fit into a house somewhere with that particular need in the design?
I’m moving from an apartment with the space for a side by side washer and dryer to an older house with more or less a closet for laundry, so it will only fit a stackable washer and dryer.

Speed Queen TR7006 Washer and Dryer
Posted by ElPresidenteGrande on 8/25/26 at 7:36 am
My wife and I are buying a house, but the space for a washer and dryer is too small for our Speed Queen washer and dryer, so we are going to have to sell them. Any recommendations from the board on where to sell them? They are only 3 years old and come from a house with no pets or children. I’m worried that I’ll get lowballed on Facebook Marketplace.

Considering that Rand Paul is the Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, that’s very likely a committee staffer.
re: SCOTUS (9-0): You can now own firearms and weed without reprecussions...
Posted by ElPresidenteGrande on 6/23/26 at 7:23 am to finchmeister08
It will be interesting to see how this affects LA RS 14:95(E), which is a criminal statute that prohibits the possession of a firearm while in the possession of a CDS, except when it’s less than 14 grams of marijuana.
“ If the offender uses, possesses, or has under his immediate control any firearm, or other instrumentality customarily used or intended for probable use as a dangerous weapon, while committing or attempting to commit a crime of violence or while unlawfully in the possession of a controlled dangerous substance except the possession of fourteen grams or less of marijuana, or during the unlawful sale or distribution of a controlled dangerous substance, the offender shall be fined not more than ten thousand dollars and imprisoned at hard labor for not less than five nor more than ten years without the benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence. Upon a second or subsequent conviction, the offender shall be imprisoned at hard labor for not less than twenty years nor more than thirty years without the benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence.”
This law is intended to prevent drug dealers from possessing firearms in furtherance of their drug trade. The rationale is that gun violence readily occurs between drug dealers and those ripping off drug dealers.
This ruling could result in unintended consequences.

With Miguez looking like he is going to run in the 6th district race, that opens up the field of the 5th to an actual race. Who is everyone liking in this race?

re: Luis Mangione Trial Updates

Carro decided the subsequent search of the backpack at the stationhouse "as a valid inventory search," so the items discovered there, including the alleged 3D-printed gun used, a notebook and handwritten slips of paper with purported escape routes, will be allowed at trial.
Under Louisiana jurisprudence, the entirety of the contents of the bag would likely be admitted under the theory of inevitable discovery even if there was a flaw in the initial search. The discovery of the contents, and therefore the contents themselves, would go to the weight and not the admissibility at trial. It’s the same as a chain of custody argument. I guess New York doesn’t have the same law.

re: Neck Ties - where does the OT elite purchase from?
Posted by ElPresidenteGrande on 4/13/26 at 8:16 am to The Mick
E. & G. Cappelli
E. & G. Cappelli out of Naples, Italy is my pick as the best value for handmade neckties. Great fabric options and you can pick the number of folds, tipping, length, width, interlining, and whether or not you want a loop/keeper.
The administration’s sunsetting of the de minimis tariff exemption made these ties more expensive, but you can still land one in the US for less than $200 per tie (less if you buy more than one, as FedEx/DHL charge a brokerage fee based on a shipment and not the number of items in the shipment). I have a few of these ties, and was probably my favorite find of 2025.
Sam Hober, as mentioned in an earlier post is in the same category.

re: TX Dem nominee says God gave Mary a choice not to birth Jesus

Am I the only person that thinks the GOP would have been in a better position if Crockett were the DEM nominee? I wouldn't put it past these moderate white women to buy into the garbage this POS is selling.
I don't really know Texas politics, so hopefully someone with knowledge there can provide some insight. Does this guy have a legitimate chance of beating Cornyn or Paxton in the general?
